Highland delivery - Peter Naulls - 24-04-2018
I had an installation to do in Kingussie last week. As it was a fairly relaxed timescale I took the Ruby; a round trip of 95 miles getting back home just after lunch.
Tools and components just fitted on the back seat:
Aviemore was misty but I could just see the remnants of the snow on Cairngorm:
I took the b-road through Feshiebridge, lined with leaf-less silver birch trees:
And passed the ruins of Ruthven Barracks:
On the return journey I stopped in Carrbridge to see the torrents of melt-water under the pack-horse bridge ...
... and met these German tourists. They were more interested in the Ruby than the scenery - which was fine by me!
Final stop was at the peculiarly robust Findhorn Bridge, built in 1926.
I could have taken the modern and got back earlier but that would have been no where near as much fun!
Peter.

What a delightful post! Superb pictures of a beautiful car in stunning scenery, that’s made my day!

Utterly delightful.

Nice pictures and super countryside. I guess we are all wondering what you were installing - looked interesting.

Loving it. I would like a job like yours!
RE: Highland delivery - Peter Naulls - 24-04-2018
I was installing a model showing the various processes of whisky distilling. Unfortunately deliveries are only a very small part of the job and most projects won't fit in the Ruby!

There is so much to like in this post Peter (especially for me!), just great!
RE: Highland delivery - Chris KC - 24-04-2018
Lovely pictures Peter! Can't wait to get back on the road myself...

I have just returned from 13 hours in 2 days of city driving in the Ruby, and realize that its no fun. Not helped by a nasty rear end collision from an inattentive driver, trailer demolished, ruby not so bad, self OK.
I was struck (pun), by the deserted roads in Peter's delightful pictures. It reminds me of all the old film clips that Austins produced in a quieter time.
